Country Stars Catch Stanley Cup Fever, Support Predators at Big Game [PICTURES]

Nashville is all about the Predators run for the Stanley Cup these days -- country stars included! A number of big-name artists were in attendance at Monday night's (May 22) Western Conference Final Game 6, when the Preds defeated the Anaheim Ducks to become Western Conference Champions and earn a spot in the Stanley Cup Final.

The Nashville Predators won their Western Conference Final series vs. the Anaheim Ducks four games to two; the team was presented with the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl and will now compete for the Stanley Cup for the first time in franchise history. The Preds defeated the Chicago Blackhawks four games to none during their first Stanley Cup Playoffs series to advance to Round 2; they then defeated the St. Louis Blues four games to two in that series to advance to Round 3.

Nashville’s Stanley Cup Final opponent has yet to be determined; in the Eastern Conference Final series, the Pittsburgh Penguins are leading the Ottawa Senators three games to two, with Game 6 scheduled for Tuesday night (May 23). The Stanley Cup Final series is scheduled to begin on Monday (May 29), with Nashville’s first home game scheduled for June 3. The team will also host a game on June 5, and could be hosting a game on June 11, should the series go that long.
